You are correct. I'm not sure if there is a precise definition of
"Zoomer", but I think that it does involve more than GEOS. That's
why I put a "?" after "HP Zoomer". But I wonder what HP and Novell
might opt for instead of Palm and/or Geoworks Ensemble applications?
Maybe extending the Motifish user interface to run some variant of
HP-VUE? Maybe using some of Novell's  recent acquisitions like
WordPerfect Office?
